Mr. Lonesome lyrics

I've got no fire inside of me
Can't be the man I try to be
Oh Mr Lonesome hanging round
Don't wanna see nobody
Don't wanna be nobody
Oh Mr Lonesome got me down

He makes me leave the party
When folks are laughin' hearty
Happiness is one thing he can't stand
Nobody wants or needs me
I go just where he leads me
Oh Mr Lonesome got my hand

And so my whole life over
Each day is like the other
But still if my one wish could be
If that old chain that binds me
Breaks when true love finds me
And Mr Lonesome sets me free
Oh Mr Lonesome got me down
